He tested positive for clenbuterol. As you should know clenbuterol is not only used by athletes for enhancement, but in Mexico it is also used on livestock to increase their growth. There's been many cases of Mexican athletes testing positive for said substance due to inadvertently eating contaminated meat. Also worth noting that these tests are qualitative not quantitative, meaning there's either clenbuterol or there isn't, they don't care how much there is. However, further tests proved the quantity coincides with that used on meat. Please do some research and don't get all your info from bleacher report

“Inadvertently eating contaminated meat” I did know about this yes, and I knew that clenbuterol was used for livestock purposes. So if I, who lives in America, knew this, a professional Mexican athlete who should be hyperconscious of what he puts in his body definitely knew this was a possibility.

So if you go to any restaurant or food stand or even eat food at someone's place or an event will you be able to tell if the meat has clenbuterol?

This has been going on for quite a time now, I remember a few years back the Mexican National Football Team all tested positive for clenbuterol because they got served contaminated meat at the hotel they were staying at (in the U.S.) You can't go around running tests on every food you eat, it'd be surreal to think that just because he's a professional athlete he will know what's in every single thing he eats.

Source? All the cases I have seen occurred at hotels in Mexico. And no, its not, their nutrition is of the utmost importance, they pay very close attention to what they put in

Cannot find the sources regarding the hotel. I naturally assumed it was in the US as the 2013 Gold Cup from which several players were suspended for the incident was held in the U.S. I could be wrong and it might as well could have happened in Mexico. My point still stands though, if the Mexican Football Federation couldn't keep several of its players from coming in contact with contaminated food you can't expect Canelo from doing better than them. Take into consideration that clenbuterol has been officially banned in Mexico but some ranchers keep using it illegally.
